Steam Deck 2 or Steam Deck Lite powered by RDNA 3, baby!

50% performance increase per watt over RDNA 2 is excellent, and basically means that even if they stick to a 40 WH battery, it should get significantly better battery life, while using the same settings.

Quoting: itscalledrealityI wish Sony would release their more interesting games already. Uncharted can be fun but I’ve already played all four and have no reason I would want to return. Even if they bundled in a secret Uncharted 5. Truthfully the games are all too mechanically similar to warrant any replay.

And there it is. Instead of celebrating the fact this franchise is even coming to PC, and is playable day one on Linux, no less, we now have people in the Linux gaming community making entitled and selfish comments, like this.

Sure am!

Here’s a golf clap for Sony porting a game from Unix to Linux.

*patters hands*

Wooo hoo!

Unless I'm mistaken, they didn't port it to Linux; it's still a Windows game, running through Proton. But whatever.

IMO modern WINE makes Windows vs Linux gaming a case of semantics.

My snipe at Unix to Linux is to point out that the Playstations are traditionally Unix platforms. An OS that has traditionally not been used heavily for visual applications and is the cousin of Linux. So why did it take until almost 2022 to give us Linux gaming if we were playing on Unix the whole time?

I’m glad Sony is doing what they claimed would happen years ago when the PS3 was released. However this is not the game I’m looking for, life is waaaaaay too short to play through Uncharted multiple times.

Because Windows accounts for the majority of PC gaming, while Linux accounts for about 5% or so.

Linux is getting there, thanks to Steam Deck and Steam OS, but it's going to take some years.

I would rather developers continue to just use Proton. It makes life easier for developers, and doesn't have much of a big difference, performance wise. Plus it continues to get better all the time.

Hard disagree, go native.

You 'hard disagree'?

A moment ago you were literally saying, "IMO modern WINE makes Windows vs Linux gaming a case of semantics".

Proton: "Built on top of Wine and is used with Steam to run Windows games on Linux"

Valve really needs to add Vibrant Deck as an official feature of Steam OS. It's that damn good.

It really makes the colours on the Deck's screen pop, and look especially beautiful for colourful / Anime games.

It could be Citadel? Citadel was always just a code name.

Citadel is supposed to be a multiplayer game, set in the Half Life universe, and is a hybrid of an FPS with Moba elements. Basically I imagine will be like Dota 2, but as a sci-fi first person shooter.

The bottom line is, the "porting" work has already been done for them, thanks to Proton. Steam Deck is successful, and now in over 1 million people's hands; it's the hottest gaming device people are talking about right now. And with the reservation queues now gone, it's about to explode even further in sales and looks like it's about to become the most sought after gaming Christmas present of 2022.

Come on, every single one of you reading this article right now, go now to Reddit; make an account if you haven't already, and leave a comment asking for Linux/Steam OS/Steam Deck support.

Even if you don't play the game, and regardless of your gripes with Bungie, just leave a comment; we need to make this happen, for the sake of gaming on Linux.

Also, specifically mention that you would like to play on Steam Deck within the first sentence of your comment. Because "Steam Deck" will be the main word they scan their eyes for when reading the replies.

And to think Bungie brought Destiny to Stadia, but won't allow Deck users to play it, via Steam OS.
